                     JEFFERIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Jefferies Group, Inc. and all subsidiaries, including Jefferies & Company, Inc.
(Jefferies) and Investment Technology Group, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries
(ITGI), including ITGI's wholly-owned subsidiary, ITG Inc. (ITG).  The accounts
of W & D Securities, Inc. (W & D) are also consolidated because of the nature
and extent of the Company's ownership interest in W & D. Jefferies Group, Inc.
and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in securities brokerage and trading,
corporate finance and other financial services.  The term "Company" refers,
unless the context requires otherwise, to Jefferies Group, Inc., its
subsidiaries, predecessor entities, and W & D.

    All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of
the results for the interim period and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1995.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

    All transactions in securities, commission revenues and related expenses
are recorded on a trade-date basis.

    Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued at
market, and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in revenues from
principal transactions.

COMMON STOCK

    On March 2, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one
split of all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, payable
March 29, 1996 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15,
1996.  A total of 9,349,668 shares of common stock were issued in connection
with the split.  The stated par value of each share was not changed from $0.01.
A total of $94,000 was reclassified from the Company's additional paid-in
capital account to the Company's common stock account.  All share and per share
amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the stock split.

    On March 15, 1996, the Company's common stock began trading on the NYSE
under the symbol JEF. Previously, the common stock traded in the Nasdaq
National Market System under the symbol JEFG.

RECEIVABLE FROM, AND PAYABLE TO, BROKERS AND DEALERS

    In the regular course of its business, Jefferies takes securities positions
as a market-maker to facilitate customer transactions and for investment
purposes.  In making markets and when trading for its own account, Jefferies
exposes its own capital to the risk of fluctuations in market value.  Trading
profits (or losses) depend primarily upon the skills of the employees engaged
in market-making and position taking, the amount of capital allocated to
positions in securities and the general trend of prices in the securities
markets.

    Jefferies monitors its risk by maintaining its securities positions at or
below certain pre-established levels. These levels reduce certain opportunities
to realize profits in the event that the value of such securities increases.
However, they also reduce the risk of loss in the event of a decrease in such
value and result in controlled interest costs incurred on funds provided to
maintain such positions.

    The Taxable Fixed Income Division trades high grade and non-investment
grade public and private debt securities.  The Division specializes in trading
and making markets in over 300 unrated or less than investment grade corporate
debt securities and accounts for these positions at market value.  Risk of loss
upon default by the borrower is significantly greater with respect to unrated
or less than investment grade corporate debt securities than with other
corporate debt securities.  These securities are generally unsecured and are
often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.  These issuers usually
have high levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic
conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than are investment
grade issuers.  There is a limited market for some of these securities and
market quotes are generally available from a small number of dealers.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and short term investments.
Cash equivalents are part of the cash management activities of the Company and
generally mature within 90 days.  The following is a summary of cash and cash
equivalents as of June 28, 1996 (in thousands of dollars):

MINORITY INTEREST

    Minority interest represents the minority stockholders' proportionate share
of the equity of ITGI.  At June 28, 1996, Jefferies Group, Inc. owned over 80%
of ITGI's common stock.

INCOME TAXES

    Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse.

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

    As registered broker-dealers, Jefferies, ITG and W & D are subject to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1),
which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. Jefferies, ITG and W & D
have elected to use the alternative method permitted by the Rule, which
requires that they each maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the
greater of $250,000 or 2% of the aggregate debit balances arising from customer
transactions, as defined.

    Net capital changes from day to day, but as of June 28, 1996, Jefferies',
ITG's and W&D's net capital was $74.5 million, $30.4 million and $808,000,
respectively, which exceeded minimum net capital requirements by $71.1 million,
$30.1 million and $558,000, respectively.

QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS

    In 1988, the Company instituted a policy of paying regular quarterly
dividends.  There are no restrictions on the Company's present ability to pay
dividends on common stock, other than the governing provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.  On March 2, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one stock split and the continuation after the split of the quarterly
dividend rate at $0.05 per share.  This effectively doubled the quarterly
dividend rate.

Dividends per Common Share (declared and paid):

TERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS PLAN

    In March 1996, the Company redeemed all outstanding rights originally
issued pursuant to a Stockholder Rights Plan adopted by the Company in May,
1988.  The rights were redeemed for a redemption price of $0.01 per right.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

    The Company has contractual commitments arising in the ordinary course of
business for securities loaned or purchased under agreements to sell,
securities sold but not yet purchased, future purchases and sales of foreign
currencies, securities transactions on a when-issued basis, options contracts,
futures index contracts, commodities futures and underwriting.  Each of these
financial instruments and activities contains varying degrees of off-balance
sheet risk whereby the market values of the securities underlying the financial
instruments may be in

excess of, or less than, the contract amount.  The settlement of these
transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

    In the normal course of business, the Company had letters of credit
outstanding aggregating $22.9 million at June 28, 1996, to satisfy various
collateral requirements in lieu of depositing cash or securities.

CREDIT RISK

    In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in the execution,
settlement and financing of various customer and principal securities
transactions.  Customer activities are transacted on a cash, margin or
delivery-versus-payment basis.  Securities transactions are subject to the risk
of counterparty or customer nonperformance.  However, transactions are
collateralized by the underlying security, thereby reducing the associated risk
to changes in the market value of the security through settlement date or to
the extent of margin balances.

    The Company seeks to control the risk associated with these transactions by
establishing and monitoring credit limits and by monitoring collateral and
transaction levels daily.  The Company may require counterparties to deposit
additional collateral or return collateral pledged.  In the case of aged
securities failed to receive, the Company may, under industry regulations,
purchase the underlying securities in the market and seek reimbursement for any
losses from the counterparty.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    As a major securities firm, the Company's activities are executed primarily
with and on behalf of other financial institutions, including brokers and
dealers, banks and other institutional customers.  Concentrations of credit
risk can be affected by changes in economic, industry or geographical factors.
The Company seeks to control its credit risk and the potential risk
concentration through a variety of reporting and control procedures, including
those described in the preceding discussion of credit risk.

           ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Total assets decreased $240.6 million from $1,537.0 million at December 31,
1995 to $1,296.4 million at June 28, 1996.  The decrease is mostly due to a
decrease in receivable from brokers and dealers related to securities borrowed.
The decrease in securities borrowed is related to decreases in securities
loaned (included in payable to brokers and dealers) and customer short sales
(included in payable to customers).

FIRST HALF 1996 VERSUS FIRST HALF 1995

    Revenues, net of interest expense, increased $60.8 million, or 35%, in the
first half of 1996 compared to the same prior year period.  The increase was
due primarily to a $35.8 million, or 43%, increase in commissions, a $22.5
million, or 50%, increase in principal transactions, and a $3.2 million, or 8%,
increase in corporate finance. Commission revenues increased, led by ITG, the
Equities Division, and the International Division.  Revenues from principal
transactions increased primarily due to increased trading gains in the Equities
Division, the International Division, and the Taxable Fixed Income Division.
Corporate finance revenues benefited from increases in advisory fees. Net
interest income (interest revenues less interest expense) remained relatively
unchanged compared to the same prior year period.

    Total non-interest expenses increased $48.0 million, or 32%, in the first
half of 1996 compared to the same prior year period.  Compensation and benefits
increased $28.0 million, or 29%, mostly due to higher incentive based
compensation accruals.  Other expense increased $6.9 million, or 38%, largely
due to higher soft dollar expenses.  Telecommunications and data processing
services increased $5.0 million, or 44%, primarily due to increased trade
volume and personnel.  Travel and promotional increased $3.5 million, or 79%,
mostly due to increased business travel.  Floor brokerage and clearing fees
increased $3.1 million, or 32%, due to increased volume of business executed on
the various exchanges.  Software royalties increased $1.6 million, or 60%, due
to higher POSIT(R) commissions.  Occupancy and equipment rental remained
relatively unchanged compared to the same prior year period.

    Earnings before income taxes and minority interest were up 50% to $38.1
million in the 1996 period, as compared to $25.3 million in the 1995 period.
The effective tax rate was approximately 43% in the first half of 1996 versus
approximately 45% in the first half of 1995.  The 1996 effective tax rate was
lower due to a reduction in the effective state tax rates.

    Minority interest (approximately 20% of the earnings of ITGI) was $2.0
million in the first half of 1996 as compared to $1.2 million in the comparable
1995 period.

    Primary earnings per share were $1.66 in the first half of 1996 on
11,915,000 shares compared to $1.07 in the 1995 period on 11,918,000 shares.
Fully diluted earnings per share were $1.66 in the first half of 1996 on
11,924,000 shares compared to $1.07 in the 1995 period on 11,946,000 shares.

    During the first half of 1996, the Company repurchased 627,473 shares of
its common stock versus 457,286 shares for the comparable 1995 period.

SECOND QUARTER 1996 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 1995

    Revenues, net of interest expense, increased $23.8 million, or 25%, in the
second quarter of 1996 compared to the same prior year period.  The increase
was due primarily to a $14.9 million, or 35%, increase in commissions, an $8.8
million, or 36%, increase in principal transactions, and a $1.1 million, or 4%,
increase in corporate finance.  Commission revenues increased, led by ITG, the
International Division, and the Equities Division. Revenues from principal
transactions increased primarily due to increased trading gains in the Equities
Division, the Taxable Fixed Income Division, and the International Division.
Corporate finance revenues benefited from increases in advisory fees. Net
interest income remained relatively unchanged compared to the same prior year
period.

    Total non-interest expenses increased $18.3 million, or 22%, in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to the same prior year period.  Compensation and
benefits increased $8.0 million, or 15%, mostly due to higher incentive based
compensation accruals.  Other expense increased $3.9 million, or 41%, largely
due to higher soft dollar expenses.  Telecommunications and data processing
services increased $2.6 million, or 46%, primarily due to increased trade
volume and personnel.  Travel and promotional increased $1.9 million, or 81%,
mostly due to increased business travel.  Floor brokerage and clearing fees
increased $1.2 million, or 24%, due to increased volume of business executed on
the various exchanges.  Software royalties increased $757,000, or 60%, due to
higher POSIT(R) commissions.  Occupancy and equipment rental remained
relatively unchanged compared to the same prior year period.

    Earnings before income taxes and minority interest were up 45% to $17.9
million in the 1996 period, as compared to $12.3 million in the 1995 period.
The effective tax rate was approximately 43% in the second quarter of 1996
versus approximately 45% in the second quarter of 1995.  The 1996 effective tax
rate was lower due to a reduction in the effective state tax rates.

    Minority interest (approximately 20% of the earnings of ITGI) was $1.0
million in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $638,000 in the comparable
1995 period.

    Primary earnings per share were $0.78 in the second quarter of 1996 on
11,783,000 shares compared to $0.52 in the 1995 period on 11,884,000 shares.
Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.78 in the second quarter of 1996 on
11,788,000 shares compared to $0.52 in the 1995 period on 11,892,000 shares.

    During the second quarter of 1996, the Company repurchased 383,715 shares
of its common stock versus 111,818 shares for the comparable 1995 period.

    The Company's principal activities, securities brokerage and the trading of
and market-making in securities, are highly competitive and extremely volatile.
The earnings of the Company are subject to wide fluctuations since many factors
over which the Company has little or no control, particularly the overall
volume of trading and the volatility and general level of market prices, may
significantly affect its operations.  The following provides a breakdown of
total revenues by source for the six months and three months ended June 28,
1996 and June 30, 1995.

            The outstanding voting securities of the Company consisted of

            of Common Stock at the record date for the meeting does not include
            shares issuable in the two-for- one stock split (the "Stock Split")
            of all the outstanding shares declared by the Board of Directors on
            March 22, 1996.  Except for the number of shares outstanding at the
            record date for the meeting and therefore the number of voted at
            the meeting, all other share information in this Form 10-Q has been
            restated to retroactively reflect the effect of the Stock Split.
